len. >> reporter: that's right, dana. you know, the bay area has not seen a digging project quite like this ever. we are talking about a 15-foot- wide tunnel that's five miles long and is as deep as 140 feet in some places. but when it is finished, it will safeguard our bay area water supply. it's a long way to tunnel beneath the bay and the first few feet are muddy ones. and there's a lot more where that came from. they are going 12 stories down and 5 miles across to complete the first-ever real tunnel under the bay. >> it will take two years of tunneling 24 hours a day to get to 5 miles. >> reporter: it's all about providing fresh water for the bay area. the hetch hetchy water system serves 2.5 million people in san francisco, san mateo, santa clara and alameda counties. every day, 260 million gallons flow through these above ground

pipelines that cross the bay now. but they are old and in need of repair, very prone to damage. >> a major earthquake could put out big portions of the bay area served by the system for up to 60 days. you can imagine what your community would be going through on the tenth day let alone the 60th day. so it's vitally important. >> reporter: the new pipelines will range from 40 to 140 feet deep and should be able to ride out that big quake. >> unless you're actually at the fault itself, what normally has problems is the shaking of the ground. you always see liquifaction, hear about tressels falling over. so by going underground avoid all that. you're much safer 40 to 100 feet underground than at the surface when the whole ground is shaking. >> it can be scary. >> reporter: underground crews will have only one way in and out of tunnel but a specially built $10 million tunnel boring machine on order from japan will automate the digging and tunnel construction. >> when the tunnel boring

machine moves ahead it least a completed tunnel that's totally supported and no danger of collapse. >> reporter: now, when you dig a big hole, your left with a lot of dirt. this is some of the dirt that was excavated just today. you may wonder what they are going to do with all this dirt. they are going to have a lot of t one of the things they are going to be doing is salt pond restoration. we told but that story a couple of weeks ago. they have to build islands on the bay where they are restoring the marshes for the wildlife. and they will need a lot of that dirt. so some of that dirt is going to be used for that project, as well. but this is a very time- consuming thing we're talking about here. they are not going to have this project complete for another five years. >> wow, okay. well, and so in addition to that, it's a recycling project. that's good. >> reporter: yeah. they are putting the earth that was underground above ground and putting it to good use. >> good. len ramirez, thank you. hundreds turned out tonight to remember three people killed

in the san bruno pipeline explosion. sharon chin on the memorial service for the bullis family. reporter: mourners streamed into the first presbyterian church in burlingame to remember three members of one family. gregory bullis, a nurse, his mother lavonne, a retired nurse, and his 17-year-old son william, a high school senior. the three died two weeks ago today in her claremont drive home in the san bruno explosion and fire. >> the bullis family was a very united family. lavonne was an excellent nurse and she cared about everybody. >> reporter: she is related to the bullis family by marriage and says she feels especially heartbroken for greg's wife sue. >> poor sue. she's lost her mother-in-law, her husband, her son, her home, all of her possessions. the only thing that she has left is her daughter, thank goodness. her car and the clothes she wore to work that day. >> reporter: authorities estimate a crowd of between 700 to 1200 mourners for the memorial. burlingame police sent automatic

phone messages yesterday to let neighbors know they are redirecting commute hour traffic near the church on el camino real and easton drive. six police officers are guiding traffic to go one way on balboa, cortez and cabrillo avenues between hillside an easton at 7:00 p.m. -- until 7:00 tonight. >> what makes it challenging is it's all primarily a residential neighborhood and we want to be as respectful as possible to the people tail ending the service, but also as minimally impacting as possible on the residents that live in the area. >> reporter: to alleviate traffic, shuttles are take -- aremourners between the church and the high school in millbrae. on campus william was enrolled in the culinary arts program. taking some students are wearing red ribbons in his memory and challenging other schools to join them in raising money for the san bruno fire victims. after the memorial a reception

on the high school honoring three generation of the bullis family. sharon chin, cbs 5. on to the investigation into the devastating blast. there is new insight into what may have caused the explosion. anne makovec shows us how crowscy bacteria could be it blame. reporter: a once thriving neighborhood now reduced to shades of gray, ash covering everything that stands, and everything that stands won't stand for long, a sight that can crack even someone who does this for a living. >> on the emotional side, it's --it's heart-wrenching. >> reporter: the debris is separated in a what's recyclable and what's going to the dump. when you look at a vehicle like this, everything is decimated except for the things that were metal down to the wiring that was once holding together the wheels.

as the clean-up process continues, so does the investigation into what caused this. >> the whole community wants answers. we don't want this to happen anywhere else again. >> reporter: new concerns about pipeline corrosion coming from the inside is one of the elements being examined on this piece of pipe, which is now in washington, d.c. one possibility, microbiology- influenced corrosion is what caused a similar gas line blast a decade ago in new mexico in a pipe the same size as the one that blew here and around the same age, five decades olds. microbes thrive in pools of water. pools of water can collect in pipes. that bacteria releases gases that break down the pipe's walls. the "san francisco chronicle" is reporting that pg&e filed a statement with state regulators last year expressing, quote, ongoing concern about internal corrosion on the line which runs from san francisco to milpitas including san bruno and that pg&e admitted that water had shown up on tests done on the pipeline. pg&e refused to comment this morning. >> they said they remain significant because we have seen trucks down there all the time

and stuff like that. i don't know what they were doing. >> reporter: now she is concerned about the aftereffects of the blast, like asbestos and metal toxins, though the health department says the air and soil are constantly monitored. in san bruno, anne makovec, cbs 5. late this afternoon we talked to pg&e about the corrosion theory. the utility says it can confirm the credited -- can't confirm the corroded pipe is to blame for the blast. they say it's extremely rare. >> in one instance in the last five years we had a leak where in our post repair survey of the line, we found one location where conditions were favorable that "mic" could have existed. >> a microbiologist said any pipe as old as the san bruno line would likely have corrosion-causing microbes inside. late today a judge cleared

the way for california to california to execute its first death row prisoner in four years. robert lyles shows us the judge is allowing the condemned inmate to choose his poison. >> reporter: in fact, federal judge jeremy fogel gave albert greenwood brown until 6:00 tomorrow to, as you mentioned, decide how he will die. the judge ruled that the convicted rapist and murderer of a 15-year-old girl from southern california in 1980 has two options, a single shot of lethal chemicals or a triple cocktail of chemicals. it's an offer that's baffling to legal scholars. and that is because the triple cocktail is nothing new. this is the method the state was using before lethal injections were challenge.

the cocktail knocks out the prisoner, the second stops breathing, the third stops the heart. but the single shot is the overdose 25 times the drug given to knock outpatients before surgery. >> there are some reasons to argue that the one drug method actually might be more humane. and that is sort of what this is about. if brown decides to go for the one drug execution, the state under this ruling is going to be obliged to comply in which case there is no stay of execution and this is just going forward the way it is schedule. if however brown goes for the single drug method but the state says we can't comply with this, we have to administer the three drugs, if that's the case then supposedly this ruling is to act as an automatic stay of execution. >> reporter: however, law professor hadar sees this ruling as sabotage. the state first chose the cocktail then stopped lethal injections over concerns that

it did not meet minimum humane constitutional requirements. couple that with brown was not the next inmate scheduled to do. it was michael morales, the death row inmate who brought this issue to the court four years ago. the professor is not sure that the state has enough time to issue that single shot that won't his life. she believes at this point it may give him an immediate grounds to appeal a stay of execution. dana? >> all right. we have a few days until it's decided. robert lyles at san quentin, thank you. if you're on the inside but not on death row, this may be your chief concern. the lethal weapons made by hand in california prisons. it is an eye catcher but the question many are asking, is it a little too much? and facebook went down caple times this week. we hope you survived. the real story how the tech experts got it up and running again. the black widow spider's severe bite

& friends gathere a final good-bye to a marin county teenager killed in a car crash. family and friends gathered in novato for the funeral of isaac brott one of the five teenagers in the car last friday. the 16-year-old driver lost control and slammed into an oncoming tractor-trailer. on novato boulevard. all the other passengers in the car were injured. police say they found beer cans and alcohol bottles at the crash scene. the driver now faces felony dui and manslaughter charges. meanwhile a motorcyclist was killed this morning after colliding with a van near the oakland airport. it happened just before 6:00 on hegenberger road. the victim is 27 years old and as you can see, the force of the impact was so strong that the front end of the bike actually shattered into pieces. medics rushed the motorcyclist to highland hospital where he later died. so far, police have not released his identity.

he is accused of kidnapping jaycee dugard and holding her hostage for nearly two decades. but now he may never stand trial. today a judge suspended the criminal trial of phillip garrido because of concerns because of his mental competency. that means he may never stand trial for 28 counts of kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment. the judge has not even seen the psychological reports on garrido. instead, he says he based his decision on talks with garrido's lawyer and his own observations. >> when somebody wants to either go to trial for crazy reasons or wants to not go to trial for crazy reasons, that person is not competent. >> criminal proceedings against garrido's wife may still continue. the couple is accused of keeping dugard and her two daughters captive in the backyard in antioch until last year's arrest. this summer a prisoner at

san quentin killed another inmate using a weapon called a bone crusher. now, this is the killer, guards say he made the weapon himself from items easily found behind bars. as joe vazquez shows us, inmates use everything from toiletries to actual bones. >> what we have here are an assortment of inmade- manufactured weapons. >> reporter: crude homemade prison knives. they used to be called sheriff's, shanks, call shivs, shanks. these are some of the objects fashioned into weapons. prisoners made everything from slingshots to zip guns to a variety of bone crushers. here's one made from a syringe, toilet paper roller. the spear, handle made of rolled up newspapers. >> the tip appears to be a toothbrush melted, sharpened

down to a tip and used as a spear. >> reporter: look at this someone made an actual bone into a weapon. >> they are called many things but bone crushers are one of the things that they call them. >> reporter: he is free an clean now, but construction worker harold brown, jr., spent a dozen years behind bars for drug dealing. in arizona, louisiana and california, including san quentin. >> i saw a holding tank before i was even inside the walls, i saw guys cut and bleeding all over the place. >> reporter: brown says bone crushers are extremely common, even though the guards manage to confiscate many weapons between random patdowns and surprise inspections. >> it's power. it's protection. for all the reasons people have weapons on the streets, they have them in jail. >> reporter: this year's bone crusher incident was the first murder at san quentin since 1997. officials say they will show that weapon and these other past examples to prison guards in an effort to crush future attempts at murder behind bars.

already streaming in. we are hoping, you know, 25,000 to 30,000 people will show up tonight and what a beautiful night for it. >> the gates just opened up minutes ago so people can come in, come in for free, bring a blanket, picnic basket. i know you saw a dog but that's a service dog only medical reasons. no money. >> no money, come on down. we are opening the view level for the first time this year. we are going to expect a wonderful show, verdes' aida one of the great operas. >> the show begins at 8:00 tonight. it should be 68 degrees, clear skies, gentle breeze, dress in layers. in case your never been here before, what is on the big jumbo screen tonight? >> tonight we have a live transmission from the operahouse, what's happening on the stage is going to be happening at the same time here. so everyone can enjoy it as though they were at the operahouse. >> so dana you get to watch the opera for free right here at the baseball park what a deal. >> it's the best idea going for a friday night. >> a nice friday night. >> all right. see you in a little bit. thank you. more curves than usual on a

i wouldn't like them to read that. they learn enough bad things and that's not the language i want them to go around as young girls saying. >> we're from canada. something like that was in our home city probably wouldn't last too long. >> reporter: another complaint i got wasn't about the appropriateness of the ad but how accurate it was. does this ad really show derriere diversity? >> not too much in favor of it. >> reporter: you're not? why not? >> uhm....... well, mostly because all of the asses in that ad are pretty equally beautiful in the normal understanding of a beautiful ass on a thin girl. >> reporter: this billboard is allies willed by cbs outdoor which is observed by the same company that owns kpix. cbs outdoor is solely responsible for determining what's appropriate and what's objectionable on its billboards. there is no government oversight. that was fine with most of the people we spoke with. it's all a matter of personal preference. >> i like the one on the right personally. >> reporter: in san francisco,

i'm simon perez, cbs 5. bad wi-fi service, dropped connections and internet videos that constantly stop and sputter. that could all end thanks to a new fcc decision. linda yee tells us about super wi-fi or wi-fi on steroids. >> reporter: buffering an annoyance we tolerate to watch video over the internet. well, buckle up! a faster wireless internet service is just down the highway. cnet's brian cooley. >> it will be like a new turbocharged wi-fi. >> reporter: it will be an internet on steroids, coming through the currently unlicensed spectrum known as white spaces. white spaces are all the unused airwaves between channels. they are used as a buffer zone so there would be no interference. now with digital tv less space is needed so the fcc will license that space for a new internet service that will provide lightning speeds. current internet speeds maxes at 54 megabits or if you will

54 miles per hour. >> the new stuff is at least theoretically going to be in the white space running at 80 to 800 megabits. so it's many times faster in theory. this new white space spectrum that's being opened up for these new services is very good at going through walls and around buildings. it's like television because it's in the same radiofrequency area. so television gets through walls and things pretty well. it gets through trees. reaches across neighborhoods. you will have the same kind of good very flexible coverage. >> reporter: smart phones, youtube and internet radio are tax the current wireless networks. the new wi-fi will take the load off. how we'll get this new service is still unknown but companies like hewlett-packard, google and microsoft are bidding to be the developers. the fcc predicts it will generate billions of dollars in economic activity. this will no longer be your parents' internet.

in san francisco, linda yee, cbs 5. so what did it take to get facebook up and running again after yesterday's massive outage? well, part of it involved turning it off and then turning it back on again. facebook was out for about 2 1/2 hours. the company's director of software engineering says even after the original problem was fixed, a cluster of databases was overwhelmed by a feedback loop. three only way to stop it was to turn off -- the only way to stop it was to turn off the site and gradually let people back on. so that's what they did. >> there you go. it's one thing our candidates for governor actually agree upon but just barely. the fight over california's air. and what prop 23 might mean for california's job recovery. the governor makes his case on prop 19 but is it more about pensions than pot? and on the subject of pot, where this marijuana expo has set up shot for the weekend. ,,,,

and opponents are of this hot topic. reporter: two-family owned trucking companies in the east bay stood up for proposition 23 today. not only has he had to lay people off, one owner claims low carbon fuel standards will drive up his diesel costs by 30%. >> climate change say serious issue that we need to deal with, but there's a lot of priorities that we need to balance. and i believe that if we strengthen our economy first, protected the jobs we have already, i'm here today to ask your for your support on proposition 23. we all understand we need to do something about global warming but at the same time, i think we need to do in a prudent and cost effective way. >> reporter: prop 23 would suspend california's greenhouse gas emission law until the state unemployment rate currently at 12.4% drops to 5.5% for one year. that landmark law on global warming was signed by governor

arnold schwarzenegger four years ago. >> using market-based incentives it will reduce the carbon emission to the 1990 year a drop of 25% carbon emission. we simply must do everything that we can in our power to slow down global warming. >> reporter: jerry brown is all for keeping the law just as it is and opposes prop 23. >> we have lost ground in recent decades. we used to be the world leader in renewable energy. i think we can do that again. but it takes investment and collaboration and it takes stopping the oil addicted proposition 23. >> reporter: even though republican rival meg whitman intends to vote against prop 23, she wants a one-year moratorium of the state law. she says, quote, while green jobs are important in growing part of our state's economic

ask why isn't the government doing anything? maybe this ad job will help. i don't know like most members of congress, i haven't read it. but maybe we could offer more visas to the immigrants who, let's face it, maybe you could offer more visas to the immigrants who let's face it will probably be doing these jobs anyway. i like talking about people who don't have any power. and this seems like one of the least powerful people in the united states are migrant workers who come and do our work but don't have any rights as a result. and yet we still invite them to come here and at the same time ask them to leave. >> that last part i don't think he was being sarcastic. after the break, tonight's "good question." live from at&t park the stands are filling up. this baseball field is filming. the san francisco giants, they are on the road so what gives? we'll tell you about the big event going down right here and your pinpoint forecast as eyewitness news continues live from at&t park. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
